Obvious grains of salt because it's Dakich, he's a basketball guy, he's an IU guy, and he's known to speak out of his ass.

I heard someone mention this on the radio when I was out and about this afternoon, and if it is indeed the case, that's a bit of a letdown for Purdue as I think they were slowly starting to get something together under Brohm. Slowly.

When I heard it was a Dan Dakich tweet, I kind of went into "wait and see" mode, although I do wonder if Purdue will actually say something about it.

I wonder if Papa Johns money is coming back in. The Louisville athletic department only has something like $8 million readily available and some of that is taped off for dealing with the impending Rick Pitino lawsuit. They owe Patrino a lot of money, so I would wonder how much they can offer Brohm and would the contract have to be backloaded and heavy on incentives.

I'd bet they already had money lined up from boosters to buy out Petrino. 

Brohm should be the long term answer for Louisville. He's not going to cost more than the top ACC schools pay. What would passing on him in favor of saving money say about Louisville? It's a business where a lot of the revenue comes from donations. You can't be penny foolish if you want to be one of the major players.

Man, that would be nice. I’d love to see Karlaftis come. That dude looks like Shrek or Wreck It Ralph smashing everyone and everything in his highlight films.
